[Hammarlund] Favorite Hammerlund receiver?

[Ka9p at aol.com]

I always enjoyed my HQ180 for SWLing, although for reasons not clear to me  
the HQ160 I had for a while seemed to sound better on AM.
 
But I agree the 180 audio is poor, as well as that annoying, popping AGC,  
maybe the worst I've had on a tube receiver - has anyone seen mods for the 
audio  or AGC, 'cause now that I think about it, I never looked, and it is  
winter...

For what  purpose?

Strictly ham and what bands or include GC?

Mine range  from a SP-100 to a HQ-180. The older HQ series is used for AM 
and 
some CW  and the 180 is strictly for GC.

You also get into the silver mica  disease in the sets with the small IF  
cans.

Hello  Carl,

~ I have a 145 and it has the same crappy audio as the 170/180.  Heck it 
doesnt
even have a basic product detector and it suffers from  Hammarlunds 6C4
disease.

~ Other than that its a little receiver in  a big box. Mine is strictly a 
shelf
queen.
The 145 and 180 both came  out in 1959.

So, if you had your druthers  which of the many Hammerlund receiver models 
would you  pick?

Cheers,

Brian
